Civic Radiator on 510?

[That4doorKiD]

Looking at some cheap 2 row core radiators that are for civics sold on ebay. This is a common modification for the jdm boys. My buddy has a 600hp EG and still utilizes the small radiators they get from aftermarket. These things are tiny compared to other 4 cylinders and to top it off he runs like 40 psi

 

Why wouldn't it work or not on a dime if I made it fit?  ...Using an L-16 or L-20b

just buy the 510 3 cores they sell. as that one above Im sure is made in china also and has samller capacity.  So Why go backwards.The Chinese rads are OK  sometimes. But Im sure this one is made in china also but just get the 51o one.  Personally I don't think a 2 core even new is good enough anymore in Hot california

Oh use spacers for the rads on the core suppert also

Rad for correct datsun application is lil over twice the price. Twice as big,fits 98% correctly,can even cool a ka,and looks more or less like it belongs there. That and ppl well give shit everyday of ur life,wtf dude. Honda shit in a datsun, it just aint right. But its ur car, do what u like.

Have you ever seen a Geo Metro, or a Civics engine bay? Tiny radiators are hideous.

Bahahaha. I think I remember seeing a photo of D Mike on here at some point. definitely resembles the original dude.

I want more room in my engine bay, that's why I'm checking out smaller ones

[That4doorKiD]

I need to put an intercooler in front of it and still space it out...plus electric fan

 

I know l-series are more pushed out than swaps

I've got a Sentra radiator in the 1200, it's lighter than the 3 core one (which I have) and cheap $56 from Rockauto. If it will meet your cooling needs then it's fine. I'll put Yugo parts on the car if it means faster lap times........but I'm a whore that way.

 

As for Honda parts in a Datsun; those trick Keihin Flat Slide carbs under the hood of my 1200, last I checked Keihin is a Honda company...........put whatever part works and improves it.

I see you are also in nevada too! Your cooling is still fine

 

I'll take measurements in a bit and might order one just cause I can return it. 60 bucks won't hurt. I'll keep everyone updated

I'm running a z22 swap in my 510 and clearance is pretty tight up front. On way to increase clearance on the front of the motor is to swap to a fan clutch water pump, then remove the fan clutch. That gives the shortest possible water pump/pulley option available.

 

I discuss a ton of possible radiator options in my wagon thread and also go over removing the fan clutch.

 

Radiator discussion begins toward the bottom of this page. I ended up using the prelude radiator.

And heres the how to for clutch removal if you're interested. this thread also discusses why the mod actually gains you clearance over any other option. My contribution is on page 2.

Fiero rads will work also. Its what i had before, till i found stock ones one ebay. Both rads will give u plenty of room on engine bay.

The Sentra radiator keeps the car cool even when it's 106 out, my car is not street driven and once on track the revs never go below 5000rpms. Keep in mind my motor is belting all of 105 rear wheel horsepower.

That's a huge fit for no modification or cutting!

But I'm looking for some more room in my engine bay, thus looking at smaller ones like mini coopers, civics etc..

[russaroll]

I have a civic rad in my wagon. PO put it in.

Had a mishimoto civic radiator in an old slant six duster. The half a normal radiator size, Cooled just fine although doesn't have much coolant capacity
